I guess it comes down to a question of how stable is reality? Will the laws of physics change if you wait enough eons? It likely depends on what layers of complexity exist outside of observable physics. If the universe was just a game running on some kid's computer, eventually it will be switched off or crash.

Well...yes, but Metallica were quoting from HP Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" (or one of his stories anyway).

Wish I'd known earlier that Lovecraft was a massive bigot.
